Shaman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, it really annoys me too. Windows registry and file checks are just lame necessity to prove your licenses. Data about users and what products they own is already on ED server. ED knows via my account name I own A10, BS1, BS2 upg, DCS World, FC1, FC2... Installing BS1 should not be necessary to get BS2 working with upgrade or DCS World BS2. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

159th_Viper Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 How will ED know I bought BS1. It isn't tied to my account as far as I know. ED does not need to know. BS2 needs to know when it comes to installing BS2. If BS1 is not there, BS2 will not install. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

shea1980 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 So where do i install bs1?in the dcs world folder? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Install it in the default path, or anywhere else but the DCS World folder. It does not matter where BS1 is, only that BS2 can see that it is installed, and activated.

Cedaway Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 And if I had bad luck with my hardware and software + too stupid to correctly magage the licence of the boxed version then killed them 1 by 1 during ages... Guess I should buy another copy of BS1 on the market... Hopefully, it's only 9.99. I think I can survive... DCS Wish: Turbulences affecting surrounding aircraft...

MasterZelgadis Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Does the BS2 module need the BS1 installation continously, or can I uninstall BS1 after I activated the BS2 Module?
